Safety, trust & environment

Information Carissa M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any medical issues, special needs, or unique behaviors ahead of time as well as any food or treat sensitivities. If you are bringing your pet to my house: 1. Please provide proof of current vaccinations (we want everyone to stay safe and healthy!) 2. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or unique behaviors ahead of time as well as any food or treat sensitivities. 3. Let me know if they have any separation issues or anxiety - unfortunately I am not able to accept dogs with severe separation anxiety at this time. 4. If they have any quirks or known aggression issues such as food or resource guarding. 5. Please provide feeding routines and habits
A typical day
Buxton and Iggy love to make new friends and play! However, they are also very mindful and receptive to one's desire for personal space. We have plenty of toys that are available to play with ranging from balls, squeaky toys, ropes, to stuffies! We have a nice backyard for the dogs to run around or chase the squirrels that are frequently found running along the fenceline, in the trees, or across the power lines. I also have a large window in the living room perfect for squirrel watching and mailman viewing. If the weather is nice I might take a walk with your pup around the neighborhood to explore new sights, sounds, and smells.

Reviews
Carissa totally gets my kitty❤️ went the extra mile with his litter robot ❤️
Carissa is amazing! Never disappoints + always goes above and beyond. Thank you!!!
Carissa is great she puts up with Carmine’s loud mouth lol❤️
"Carissa was PHENOMENA with my cats! Even my most skittish cat warmed up to her quickly, which is rare!! She clearly has a natural way with animals and made sure my pets felt safe and loved while I was away. I came home to calm, happy, and well-cared cats. I will definitely be booking with Carissa again and highly recommend her
